THE REALTY MARKET.
Record of the Deals Made During the
Past Wcek-Building Operations.

Notwithstanding the near approach Of win
ter, when deals in realty and building opera
tons are supposed to cease for while, the
business in Omaha continues steady and the
cold weather makes perceptible difference so
far as dickering in dirt is concerned. OF
course, it is to be expected that there would
be little or no building done, and yet permits
were issued last week aggregating over
0,000.
Architects and contractors all express the
opinion that the building operations during
the year 1883 will far exceed those OF 1857.
The great trouble this year has been the
scarcity of competent workmen. Excellent
wages have been paid and there has been no
application from good men to obtain work
refused. Skilled mechanics have been in
great demand, and there has been an abund
ance of work for the common laborer, 1t is
estimated that builders are at least $500, 900
behind their contrats, and work will be re-
sumed at the earliest possible day next
spring, If the winter should prove mild
one great progress will be made during the
season.
The great present need is more small cot
tagcs which can be rented at from $l5 to S25
per month. Such homes are very scarce and
the attention of investors is particularly
called to this fact The attention of outside
mechanics is also requested. Let them thor
oughly investigate the truth Of the above
statement and then come to Omaha and make
your home here.

CO-Education and Marriage.

Philadelphia Press: "Hotbeds of
Irritation" expresses a very usual opin
ion of co-educational schools. As q
matter of fact it is curious to note the
wide difference in the relation of the
sexes that exist in different institutions.
There may or may not be schools where
the students flirt there certainly are
schools where it is not at all unusual
for them to fall in love, contract en-
gagements. and in due time get mar
ried. One instance is given where us
many as 40 per cent of a certain class
paired off to take lifc's journey to-
gether after passing the preliminary
barriers of deferential and integral
calculus in company, and these mar
riages are said to have turned out well.
The mingled rivalry and good-fellow-
ship Of the classroom seemed to give
good opportunity for that full and
fair acquaintance which ought to pre-
cede matrimony, better opportunities
probably than are offered by the more
guarded intercourse wich society sane
tions. Young men and young women
students become good comrades and
they stay good comrades, understand
ing one another thoroughly after they
have settled down to life's business to-
gether. Such cases as these are not,
however, typical. A great majority of
the co-educational colleges are more
after the pattern of Boston university
where. as one might expect, perhaps,
from the non-marrying reputation OF
the Hub, no attachment, no especially
intimate intercourse, not the fuintest
suspicion of II Irritation between stu
dents of the opposite sexes has been
known since the foundation of the
school. The after-fortune of every
student is accurately known through
the full records kept by the graduating G
classes; and n year or two ago the only
marriage that had, within the annals
of the college, taken place between ex.
students was that of daughter of the
late Bishop Gilbert Haven, whose ac.
quaintance with the man who became
her husband was formed after her sue
cessful graduation.

New York Sun; There is a great deal
of fun in every nook and corner of Cor
nell university, New York, just now
over an incident which occurred here
this week. At the beginning of every
term an alphabetical list of students is
issued by the registrar, giving the resi-
dence of each person enrolled in the
university. Occasionally a mistake is
found in the list. Several days ago one
of the Sage college ladies, of prepossess-
ing appearance, in looking over proofs
of this years list of students. detected a
slight error in her name, and fastened
to the registrars Office to correct it.
"Are you engaged just now?" was the
first question asked the registrar, who
was in blissful ignorance of the lady S
mission. and whose mind evidently was
wandering in matrimonial channels.

bewitching smile on her face.
"Oh. you wOuld!'' gasped the young
man. his cOuntenance radient beyond

And then the young lady undertook to
explain matters more in detail, much to
